Croptober at Lucie's

Lucie decided to have a crop at her house in October. She's thinking of being a consultant for Creative Memories just to do scrap classes and have fun. This definitely was fun! Behind me in the photo are Lucie, Amanda, Laura (Owens), and Valerie.

Sweet Mosey!

Josh and Mosey on the grass outside the Orland Veterinary Hospital ...14 Oct. 2010

Seeing this photo on Facebook this morning made me soooooo happy! Mosey (Joshua's Jack Russell Terrier) was hit by a car on Monday (it was a hit-and-run). He's gotten out of the house a couple times and has always headed north away from the busy road. We think this time he and Charlie, Lucie's dog, were attracted by all the kids walking home from school which is just a couple blocks down. Charlie was lost for a while and found 3 hours later and escaped injury. But Mosey was not so lucky. He sustained severe head trauma. For the first 2 days he didn't open his eyes and we weren't sure if he was going to survive. Yesterday he started moving on his own and trying to open his eyes. This morning he is doing even better, tho not out of the woods. He can't see right now and moving isn't easy for him but we're hoping it's temporary. The vet said he might be able to go home tomorrow. I am so thankful for the power of prayer. Josh and Lucie are going to buy baby gates now to keep this from happening again. Cause no matter what some people might think pets ARE family and are just like kids. Mosey is definitely Josh and Lucie's baby!

Come Join the Fun!!

After the Rain

We had an awesome rain storm this afternoon. It only lasted about 10 minutes but it really poured! Afterwards I went out with my camera to see what beauty I could photograph. Check out the rainbow, reflections, and that black sky in the east!!

Girl Scout Bridging Ceremony...May 2010

Tyeler and Paige both advanced in Girl Scouts during their Bridging Ceremony in May. They were excited that their mom could be there. Tina and Kathy came over from Laytonville for the ceremony, then took the girls to dinner afterwards before they headed back home.

TS Treasured Hunt 2010

For the Final Challenge (#4) we were asked to use the word 'End' in our title. Also include bling, ledger paper, journaling, ribbon, and something hand-made. I did a tribute to FIL Gene for this one.

Journaling reads: One of the things I truly believe is that family love is an eternal thing. That love doesn't end with the passing of a loved one...it goes on forever! We miss you, Gene!!

TS Treasured Hunt 2010

For challenge #3 we were asked to spotlight a technique that we love. I love doing faux stitching. We also needed to include black & white and bling on our page. I love black & white with red so this photo of Sammy was perfect for this LO!
